Ok, so i think i should start by saying a month ago i had red red hair and i got sick of dying it every couple weeks so i wanted a change. decide i wanted ombre brown to blonde, dyed brown over the red I knew the red would come through the brown but i did it anyways. ended up sorta burgundy and like black and the bottoms.
so i decided to do ombre anyways, bought the bleach, bleached the ends and it ended up really brassy obviously. now i know i need to get some kind of toner or shampoo to remove the brass but i dont know what to do about the top of my head, it looks ridiculous with the brassy orange next to it. should i just buy more bleach and bleach the top so its similar the the middle of the "ombre" and then re do the bottoms a bit more and THEN add the toner to take out the orange? i'm just thinking that the toner might not work and ill end up a hundred shades lighter than i want to be and then would i have to dye the top of my hair a medium brown to keep this ombre thing? is this just too many steps towards more failure? i have no idea how to fix this and would rather do it at home than go to a salon. im ok with bleaching my hair again because its pretty strong and feels and looks really healthy still. 
it looks different in person but this is the best that i could get. |

I really like it aswell. You have acheived a nice ombre, the whole concept is a darker base and lighter ends. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-600ELOjvpoE/T9lUhUWFdkI/AAAAAAAAAlM/0UAQ15s4Wss/s1600/khloe_kardashian_black_dress_o.jpg - http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-600ELOjvpoE/T9lUhUWFdkI/AAAAAAAAAlM/0UAQ15s4Wss/s1600/khloe_kardashian_black_dress_o.jpg I must say that I think that your ombre looks better, much more subtle and doesn't look as severe with dark brown roots/base and brassy ends.
